Name this Lugnut! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*Jeff240sx* · 11-09-2004, 08:17 PM

Tire Kingdom owes me a lugnut. And I can't find my lugnut online. So.. I'll give $1 paypal to whoever tells me a) What brand/model lugnut it is, and b) where to get one (without saying buy a new set of wheels).

Let me know.

It uses a 12mm allen key to install/remove, and has "1.25" (thread pitch) stamped on the side.

looks generic to me. there are a few companies that make nuts like that. Go to a discount tire shop and ask to see their selection of lugnuts like that.

*Jeff240sx* · 11-09-2004, 08:25 PM

No dollar for you! I need a lugnut that fits my GT-Us, with some sort of Tampa-resistant security deal.
Help me out!!

justinhustle · 11-09-2004, 08:29 PM

you need to get like kyokugen, tell em you couldnt match the set they ruined and to buy you those

**mrmephistopheles** · 11-09-2004, 08:29 PM

dorkass, i don't care about your dollar!
I'm saying tire shops have bins of these things, exactly like that!

s13driver · 11-09-2004, 09:04 PM

go to a machineshop give them lugnut and ask them to clone it ?!

eyustfu · 11-09-2004, 09:08 PM

looks like the ones from autozone or pepboys

TK · 11-09-2004, 09:09 PM

a lot of places used to sell that style lug nut back in the 90s when a lot of wheels used that style lug nut. volk gt-c's use the same nut and the ones i've seen from mackin are all universal deals. i might have some at the shop, but i probly won't be able to part it out until i find out the cost for each lug nut

Kyokugen won't fit in the wheel.

old_s13 · 11-09-2004, 10:35 PM

throw those away and have them buy you a new set of these:

http://www.gorilla-auto.com/products...image=5529.jpg

gorilla sells an open-ended tuner style lugnut which i am going to use for my setup, since i have various different types of wheels, spacers, and run super long wheel studs. i need something tuner style and open ended, and this is the only alternative i've found for my needs.

anyway, i'm going with gorilla products.. they are the only ones at SEMA that seemed to have anything good. mcgaurd is good but they didnt have open tuner style lugs.

justinhustle · 11-10-2004, 09:10 AM

damn they fit my 57 pro =/

drift into a curb · 11-10-2004, 11:29 AM

Those are shank type lug nuts with a slant/tapered edge. Not alot of cars used these. There's confusion with the other shank type that has a flat seat in the middle of the lug nut (refer to the bottom). I know Kosei used your same lug nuts on their "RT Penta" wheels . If they fit GT-U's, why not go to the source at http://www.mackinindustries.com/ for volk wheels. Kinda of a bitch to wait, but it's your best bet.

ALTRNTV · 11-10-2004, 01:28 PM

Hey.. I think I have that one in my garage. Let me try to find it...

stuntman240 · 11-10-2004, 01:36 PM

mistaanime · 11-10-2004, 02:21 PM

If nobody knows, I'll find that out for you next week, I'm starting work at Kragen then.

I checked out what we have on the shelf, all we've got are normal ones, we may have the shanked ones in the back, but I didn't have time to check it out, we were too busy all day.

Ritz S14 · 11-18-2004, 12:46 PM

They are called "acorn tuner style lug nuts"

*Jeff240sx* · 11-18-2004, 01:02 PM

Boo! They all use some bullshit 17mm allen key, which goes into some other tool. Like a bigass socket or a lugnut wrench. Neither of which I have. I really need to find something with a 12mm head so I can continue to use my 12mm 1/2" drive allen socket.
-Jeff

Ritz S14 · 11-18-2004, 01:05 PM

The ones I showed you are 12mm.

dhohn · 11-18-2004, 01:08 PM

Jeff, would you please post a pick of your car with the gtu's on. Im planning on getting those for my s14 and the only reason I havent bought them yet is because I havent seen a s14 with them on.

If you could please post a pic of your car with the gtus on I would GREATLY appreciate it

The pic or the ebay auction?

Ritz S14 · 11-18-2004, 01:15 PM

.480 inside diameter

12mm=.04724"

That's the ebay auction one. I'm not sure how you got 17mm.. ?

dhohn · 11-18-2004, 01:17 PM

A picture of your car with the Volk GT-U's you have on it
I went to your webpage to look at the pics but nothing came up when I clocked on the gallaries.

By the way AWESOME intro to your page

drift into a curb · 11-18-2004, 01:35 PM

Those lug nuts are not the same as the shank type. The shank type extend inside the lug hole. If you use those and have a cover for your GT-U's, those cover will most likely not fit because the lugnut is too long.

I'm willing to bet Kragen doesn't carry this type of shank tuner type lug nut. They MAY be able to get them, but they don't carry them offhand.

I haven't updated my site in forever. School and customer's sites are killing me.
Pics of my dirty car on stock suspension can be found at:

Pics of my freshly washed car on coilovers cannot be found, however.
